Microtransaction is a buzzword in the video game industry that gets a lot of attention, especially when mentioned by developers. If you were worried about whether or not the next GRID game would include microtransactions, series director Christopher Smith had some things to say that will put your worries to rest.
In an interview with Gaming Bolt, Smith said:

PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {'gptAds':[], 'gptStandAlone':[]};
admiralCookie = readAdmiralCookie();

googletag.cmd.push(function() {
var standAloneSizeMapping = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([0, 0], []).addSize([750, 0], [[300, 250]]).addSize([980, 0], [[300, 250]]).build(); PB.gptStandAlone['ros_300x250_p_slot4_1561212176'] = googletag.defineSlot('/4403/cr/playstationlifestyle/ros', [[300, 250]], 'ros_300x250_p_slot4_1561212176') .defineSizeMapping(standAloneSizeMapping) .addService(googletag.pubads())
.setTargeting('pos', 'P').setTargeting('content_detail', '0').setTargeting('kw', 'in-article').setTargeting('coppa', '0').setTargeting('site', 'playstationlifestyle');
googletag.enableServices();
googletag.display('ros_300x250_p_slot4_1561212176');

if (admiralCookie === null || admiralCookie['val'] === 'false') {
googletag.pubads().refresh([PB.gptStandAlone['ros_300x250_p_slot4_1561212176']]);
}

});
